Funeral Home and Autopsy Odor Problems

Funeral homes and some medical facilities like autopsy rooms can be exposed to unpleasant body odors and formaldehyde vapors from embalming fluids. The use of formaldehyde in embalming fluids is now required by all state laws. Unfortunately, formaldehyde is a pungent smelling substance that can vaporize at room temperature. The strong, unpleasant body and formaldehyde odors are offensive to many people. Unfortunately, most ventilation systems only recirculate room air and remove large particulate matter such as dirt, dust, and lint. Noxious body and formaldehyde odors are left free to recirculate in the air you breathe. Over time, they could increase in concentration and result in serious indoor air pollution problems e.g. sick building syndrome.

Medical problems that have been associated with formaldehyde exposure include watery eyes, burning sensations in the eyes and throat, nausea, and difficulty in breathing. High concentrations may trigger asthma attacks in people with asthma. There is evidence that some people can develop chemical sensitivity after exposure to formaldehyde. Furthermore, formaldehyde is also known to pose a carcinogenic and mutagenic risk to humans. The health problems associated with formaldehyde could lead to complaints from employees and OSHA fines.

The Solution

The Smelleze™ Funeral Home/Autopsy Deodorizer Pouch was specially developed to adsorb, neutralize, and encapsulate body and embalming fluid odors on contact. Smelleze™ will truly cleanse the air of offensive odors, complement existing ventilation systems, and create a safer more pleasant environment.

It's No Cover-up

The Smelleze™ Funeral Home/Autopsy Deodorizer Pouch is a natural deodorizer that can be used to eliminate noxious and unpleasant body and embalming fluid odors instead of merely masking them with fragrances. Smelleze™ is negatively charged whereas body and embalming fluid odors ride on positively charged particles. As a result, Smelleze™ draws in odors like a strong magnet. Thereafter, it traps, neutralizes, and encapsulates them without smelly cover-ups. The molecular structure of Smelleze™ is made up of a lattice structure arranged to form a honeycomb framework of billions of interconnecting channels. This gives Smelleze™ an enormous surface area that is larger than several football fields. The latter enables Smelleze™ to adsorb phenomenal amounts of body and embalming fluid odors and work for months.

Environmentally Friendly

The Smelleze™ Funeral Home/Autopsy Deodorizer Pouch is non-toxic, safe, non-hazardous, natural, non-scented and non-caustic. It is an ideal environmentally friendly solution for eliminating body, formaldehyde and other embalming fluid odors without adding pollutants to the air you breathe. Smelleze™ does not contain chemical additives and is also especially beneficial for those suffering from chemical sensitivity.

Directions

For a breath of fresh air, simply remove the plastic cover, place Smelleze™ pouches in the area to treated, and smell the difference. Use one or more pouches for every 400 square feet.

To obtain the best results, remove the odor sources (e.g. open containers and spills) and clean the affected area prior to treating with Smelleze™.

Product Life

The Smelleze™ Funeral Home/Autopsy Deodorizer Pouch should be replaced every 3-4 months or when an increase in odor is detected. The actual life span of this product will depend on the odor concentrations, temperature, humidity, and velocity of air flow it is exposed to.

Disposal

The unused Smelleze™ Funeral Home/Autopsy Deodorizer Pouch is non-hazardous and environmentally safe. However, this may change if it is exposed to hazardous or toxic substances. Used Smelleze™ should be disposed according to all relevant local, state, and federal regulations.
